Learning from that\, we wanted to give our community a further opportunity to share and remember those they loved and lost. \nDuring our discussions\, we were reminded that a dear friend of ours\, artist\, and arts administrator Suzanne Ruley\, had left behind a tremendous amount of creative work that her husband Matt discovered after she passed away from Covid. We recognized that many people were having similar experiences\, and we felt it would be healing for them to join with us to share their discoveries in an exhibit also featuring Suzanne’s work. \nEXHIBITION SPONSORS \nSUNCOAST HOSPICE FOUNDATION a member of Empath Health \nVisit St. Pete/Clearwater \nPinellas County\, FL \nThe State of Florida and Division of Cultural Affairs \nCOMMUNITY PARTNERS \nEmpath Health \nCentral Pinellas Chamber of Commerce \nGreater Seminole Area Chamber of Commerce \nSt. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce \nSafety Harbor Chamber of Commerce \n  URL:https://creativepinellas.org/event/the-things-they-left-behind-grief-discovery-and-remembrance/ LOCATION:The Gallery at Creative Pinellas archive\, 12211 Walsingham Road\, Largo\, FL\, 33778\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://creativepinellas.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/THE-THINGS-THEY-LEFT-BEHIND-1920x1080-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220524 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220627 DTSTAMP:20260427T031145 CREATED:20220523T193328Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220613T185123Z UID:14873-1653350400-1656287999@creativepinellas.org SUMMARY:Emerging Artist 2022 Virtual Exhibition DESCRIPTION:   \nWatch a quick training video on navigating the virtual gallery\n  URL:https://creativepinellas.org/event/emerging-artist-2022-virtual-gallery/ CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Virtual Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://creativepinellas.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EAV_Emerging_FeaturedImage.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220528T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220709T200000 DTSTAMP:20260427T031145 CREATED:20220303T155640Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220630T035818Z UID:11042-1653762600-1657396800@creativepinellas.org SUMMARY:SPACEcraft MAKE | PLAY at Largo Central Park DESCRIPTION:MAKE | PLAY  at  Largo Central Park \nMay 28 – July 9\, 2022\n\n101 Central Park Dr\, Largo\, FL 33771\n\n\n\n\nFind us and EXPLORE!\nVisit during these hours to enjoy free creative activities and meet local artists\nThursday 630 – 8pm\nSaturdays 630- 8pm\nFollow SPACEcraft on social media for updates on weekly events and day of weather updates. \nFacebook/ Instagram: @exploreSPACEcraft \nSPACEcraft is a socially-engaged\, traveling art project in Pinellas County designed to build a sense of community by encouraging people of all ages to interact and create together. \nTwice weekly\, the Make/ Play  SPACE presents participant-driven programs such as art workshops and crafting\, musical performance and drum circles\, educational toys and games\, an interactive chalkboard mural\, and more.
